Be itknown that I, SANronn '1. Been LAND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hebron, in the county of Licking and 5 State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cen'ient-Molds, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to cement-molds. One object of the invention is to provide L11 exceedingly Sli'l lplG, inexpensive, durable, i

I )l'() CCl lOIiS i01 Cll flU'QlllCnt' ill. the (ZOITG- and etlicient mold designed principally for the molding of cement posts.

Another ob ect resides in. the provision or a fence-post mold embodying such charae l teristics that the ost may be formed com.-

plete in a single mold.

l/Vith the above and other objects in view the present invention consists in theco'n'ibination and arrangement of parts hereinafter 2o referred to, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes in the form, proportion, size, and minor details may be resorted to within the scope of the claii'ns without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention. i In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention, the cover being broken 0 away. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the bottom. member. Fig. 3 is a detail View of one of the sides. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the lower end member. Fig.6 is a detail view of the upper end member; and Fig. 6 is a transverse sec- 5 tional view through the mold, illustrating a modified form: of connection between the sides and bottom member.

Referring new role particularly to the accompanying drawings, the reference characo tr; 1 indicates a bottom board having one end enlarged, as at 2. Between the shoulders 3 of the enh rged portion 2 of the bottoin board and the opposite end of the latter and, upon each side are eyes 4 for a purpose i5 presently, understood. There is an eye 5 upon each side or the enlarged portion 2, with eyesfi at the outer end thereof. There is also eye '7 at the upper end of the bottom board.

The: sides of the mold are indicated by the character ct and each has one end directed outwardly, as at 9, and then directed in the same plane asthe remaining portion thereof,

. as at it to conform with theshapeofthe bottom board, the latter heing'shown as T- shaped 'lChe result is that the post proper and its base may be formed of a single piece,

the shoulder between the base and post being designed principallyto resist the action ol" lrost and prevent thawing incident to l'rcezing from raising the post out ol the ground. The lower end ol the sides each has a projc tion 11 depending from its under edge for engagement in the aforesaid eyes 5, there being similar projections 12 depending from the under edges ol" each side above the aforesaid sponding eyes -1- ol the bottom board.

The lower end member 13 has a pair of projections 13 at its under edge for engagement inthe eyes 6 of the bottom hoard, while the upper end member 14 has a projection 15, depending from its under edge for engagement in the eye 7 at the upper end ol the base or bottom board.

The peculiar connection between the side and end and bottom members precludes the necessity of means for preventing the side and end members from falling outwardly. l'lowever, suitable clamping means may be employed, if desired. For instance, bolts 16 may connect the side members in such manner as to engage or he in close proximity to the outer faces of the end members of the mold. When these bolts are employed, the side and end members will be clamped tightly in place. The top board 17 which forms one face of the mold,'may be secured in place in any suitable manner.

A modified form of connection between the side and bottom members is shown in Fig. 6. For instance, the side members may each have outwardlydirected projections 18, adapted to engage in the eyes 19, secured along the side edges of the bottom board in any suitable manner. In all other respects the mold is the same as that hereinbefore described.

The mold may be formed of wood, metal, or any other suitable inaterial, and it may be used for molding monuments, as well as fence-posts.

Whatis claimed is A fence-post mold comprising a bottom member provided with an. enlarged end forming oppositely-disposed shoulders and having eyes along each side, including its enlarged portion, and also at each end, side members each bent at one end to form a shoulder c0nforming to the shape of the shoulder formed by the enlarged end of the bottom member and each side being provided'with projections for detachable en eeement in said side fellin out of o erative )osition and a to D i) h I eyes, end members each having a projection member forming one face of the mold. 10 for engagement of the corresponding end In testimony whereof I hereunto set my eyes, the engagement of the projections of I hand this 3d day of March, 1906.
